The drawing depicts a mosaic which was photogrammetrically reduced from rubbings and hand-coloured by James E. Williams, Royal Commission on Historical Monuments.
The mosaic was uncovered in 1927 in Foundry Yard, Lott & Walne's, High Street, Fordington, Dorset. It was re-laid in Worthies Room, Dorset County Museum. The original mosaic probably dates from the 4th century A.D., and is comparable with the Flora apsidal pavement in Bignor, Sussex.
The Collection was acquired by the NMR in 2010.
